ACTRESSES - JEREMY HERSH (2015)

Written and directed by Jeremy Hersh, Actresses was nominated at Sundance and SXSW (they show a lot of the same films). It follows the love story between two actresses - a seasoned professional and an ingénue, though it is not quite a lesbian All About Eve! Instead, it is more of an observational piece exploring the insecurity and self-obsession exhibited by the less experienced actress, and thus people generally and perhaps actresses more specifically. A little like All About Eve, it is the ingenue's burgeoning career that causes the problems as she constantly obsesses about her performance and whether her girlfriend approves. If you like the New York set Actresses be sure to rate and share it.
